Okay so I’m sure you’ve all heard of the quiet place project. Well if not I am going to tell you because it has stopped me from doing serious damage more than once.
This gem right here is where you can literally create a 100% anonymous username and just absolutely spill your guts. Then people can read it and give you advice, and it honestly is so helpful. Because the other people on it are in the same situations as you, and they understand. You can comment and give advice on other peoples posts too, and it’s just really great.
This little beauty is similar to the comfort spot. Except instead of posting your thoughts, you type them into the box and then when you press enter they disappear and turn into stars against the blue sky. There is a whole bunch of different languages to choose from at the start, so if English is not your first language then you can probably find it here. There is the most comforting music that plays in the background as well, which is so great.
Which is so good for panic related things because it silences all of your other tabs and when you make it full screen it talks to you very calmly and then literally forces you stop for just 30 seconds and do nothing and just breathe.
Okay, so this is my actual favourite, it’s called the dawn room
The dawn room is so great for stopping you from self harming. It begins by telling you that its going to be alright, then it asks you to write something about someone you love. After that messages from other people, just like you, appear on the screen, one after the other, and the background slowly become brighter and happier. This page has genuinely stopped me from hurting myself more times than I can count. I’m not suggesting that it will work for everyone, but it is an absolute gem.
This page runs for about 5 minutes, and it is basically a typing simulator that tries to convince you that everything is going to be alright. It is very calming, and good for lonely times.
I can honestly say that this website has done me so so much good. I appreciate it with every bit of my being.
please reblog
this sounds so lovely
I love this
I adore The Dawn Room and have used it multiple times myself. Also for the rooms besides the comfort spot don’t require any sort of sign up to use in case you don’t feel up to signing up for something or anything.
Sometimes you might be feeling a bit stressed and wish you could have a proper sleep, but whatever’s worrying you won’t let you get proper rest! Well, the good people of Nemuriale have developed this fantastic device for people just like you who’ve been having trouble dropping off or just want to calm down for a bit. Just turn on the Nemuriale device and it will continue to let out a gentle beat for 20 minutes which is designed to get your breathing and heartbeat rhythm back in line so you’ll feel nice and relaxed. This super-cute version comes with an adorable puppy cover resembling a Miniature Stafford. Perfect for use at home or while travelling, the Nemuriale and this super-cute little cover are sure to make your sleepy times as relaxing as possible.
so sometimes i have panic attacks, right? but because i’m sort of a disaster as a person i’m really bad at actually recognising when i’m having one–if i’m really lucky i’ll notice that my hands are maybe shaking, or that i’m weirdly hot/cold, or that i can see my heartbeat. but usually i kind of go WOW EVERYTHING IS TERRIBLE and that’s as far as my brain goes, and then i sit around being miserable forever.
but then i realised that for me, at least, when i’m having a panic attack, my heartrate goes way up. and it turns out that there are apps that let you monitor your heartrate..
the app i use is called instant heart rate, and while that page links you to the paid version, there’s free versions if you hit up the more from this developer page in play/itunes. i got the paid version, eventually, but the only real difference is that the paid version stores an unlimited number of readings and doesn’t have ads. the free version looks like this:
you want to do it a few times (or once in a while) when you’re chill, to establish a baseline, but after that, if you start feeling like the world is terrible and you don’t know why, you can check yourself, kinda? you can see where my baseline’s usually about 65, and then all of a sudden haha, now it is super high. (i don’t always have the app record my numbers–it shows you as it counts, and if you close the app before it finishes, the numbers don’t save.)
i find quantifiable data helpful because sometimes when everything is terrible, i can remember to check this and even if i can’t identify what’s happening, the data can be like, hey maybe is a panic attack and that is why EVERYTHING IS AWFUL FOREVER. i also like it because it’s a clear indication that there’s A Thing Wrong and while i am in fact crazy, it’s not actually all in my head right now. sometimes (not always, but sometimes) that makes me feel ok about doing things to make it stop, you know?
anyhow this is long and maybe dumb but i thought maybe other people are also bad at this and would find it useful.
some little girls aren’t little girls it just takes us a while to realize it. I came out to my family last year as transgender, and in doing so saved my life, if you can’t tell from the picture, 14 was a bad year for me. For every kid feeling like I was, please just wait, just wait cause one day you’ll realize just how worth it the wait was. I know everyone says it, but it’s true, it will get better, just please stick around so you can see it come true.
Well, 2014 was only the second year of my drawing career meaning: a) my style changed with like every drawing I did, and b) i hella improved
I also devoted like every spare second of my life into practicing
I’ve never enjoyed doing something as a hobby this much and I hope I can improve a lot more next year! I think I want to practice drawing more backgrounds, also boys (as you can see above, literally every drawing is of a girl). Plus I really want to do more artistic pieces as well instead of just a character posing.
D’oh … if you send me an Anonymous ask I can’t reply to it. Don’t ask me why I didn’t think of that earlier because I will have no sensible answer. ANYWAY … my strange child is tomoesenpai but their tumblr currently has a bunch of gifs from Carrie on it (in between lots of less icky things) so if horror’s not your thing I can only apologise. Eris’s tumblr seems to have a lot of pretty anime people and cosplayers on it as well as a smattering of original art and fan art, and a random assortment of Homestucks. Also it was lovely to see you today!
